Our convention is fast approaching, so I wanted remind everyone a couple things. Room reservations; Feb 24th is the cutoff datefor the $89 block room rate, after that they may not have rooms available at that price. March 2nd, please have your reservation to me before that, as we have to finalize food numbers with the hotel. Parking; when you get there please stop at the front door and go into register, and you will be given a free parking pass. I forward checks and send out email confirmations every Sunday, if you have not got a confirmation from me, let me know, in case it got lost in the mail.

Major, check Allegiant air, they fly direct from Sanford to Moline. They are usually pretty reasonable.we flew from Moline to Mesa Az a couple weeks ago for $345 roundtrip for both of us, also a direct flight.

Well I just made my reservations. I had a spinal injection for my sciatica yesterday and it seems to be better. I won't be sure for a week or so but thought I should make the reservations now. So opefully I'll see you all there.

Although Walt Kirst cannot attend due to his wife's cancer (prayers), I will be representing Kirst and Thuer...........

I am bringing Kirst reconditioned conversions and ejectors. 22, 38, 45acp, 45 Colt (or Long Colt as Bryan Buck calls it) in Colt and Remington, as well as a very rare Kirst 32 S&W for the colt Pocket model. New Kirst 22 that fits ALL Colt Navy and Army, Uberti and Pietta (Yes, that's right the same converter fits ALL MODELS).

Just curious...Saw the American Pioneer Powder wall poster in the slide of Len Abel's table, can Len or anyone else eddikate me/us on it? The usual who, what, where stuff and anyplace to get it, price, etc. plus what it shoots the best in: rifle, pistol or shotgun?Thanks up front, sorry I missed the doo-dah and all my old Pards & Pardettes but 'She who must be Obeyed' had scheduled multiple Dr. appts that weekend, sigh! At least all are well, mostly.If the powder info has been posted or published someplace else, please pardon this old brain and eyes for missing it. Also, this to Dusty Tagalon, did you sell all the Goex you had or is any left, might have a wanna-be-possible-newbie who may be interested in it, just checkin'. Best regards and good shooting!'Ol GabeNCOWS #925
